Startups in Argentina – statistics & facts
Despite the many financial hurdles the Argentine economy has endured in recent decades, or perhaps because of it, Argentina has produced some of the most lucrative tech companies in Latin America. Once termed the region's 'dot com' hub, Buenos Aires has asserted itself as the heart of Argentina's thriving startup market. The country's capital, reckoned by some to be the Latin American metropolis with the most 'European' flavor, has been the founding home to major entrepreneurial successes, such as Mercado Libre, an online marketplace equivalent to Amazon, or Globant, the first Latin American software company to initiate a public offering on the New York Stock Exchange.
